That is why they have Saabs and not Dash 8s.
You also missed Southern Airlines and ARAQ in your list.
The only other nitpick is that I don’t think Qf Freight ever owned aircraft or employed pilots. It was a business that contracted lease aircraft, and freight space on aircraft to move its freight around the world. Still does.
Plus Impules airlines IS Jetstar, and Australia Asia was just a paper airline operating a Qantas 747SP with Qatas crew to get around Chinese anger at recognising Taiwan.
And the employees at Australian Airlines that is now rhe domestic arm of QF mainline would be just fine with their lot, I would think.
